Right off the bat: the first problem with "Gigli" (1 Viewer)

Gary->dee · Jul 15, 2003

How many people are even going to be able to pronounce the title correctly?

"Hey uh, let's go see giggly."

MickeS · Jul 15, 2003

I was wondering the same thing. I thought they had changed the title though?

I would just pronounce it like you say above actually.

Steve Christou · Jul 15, 2003

What the hell is a 'gigli' anyway? Is it a film? A person? The sequel to Gigi?

It's either giggly, or jiggly, or jijjly, or gijjly or [GET OFF STEVE!]

Gary->dee · Jul 15, 2003

It's the name of Ben Affleck's character, Larry Gigli, which I believe is prounounced 'jeelee' but correct me if I'm wrong!

Michael Reuben · Jul 15, 2003

I believe you're right, Gary. And from what I've read, the title has been a bone of contention between Martin Brest and the studio for some time. Of course, if the movie's any good, the fact that the title is odd may turn out to be a plus.

P.S. Why is it that Kevin Smith has to shoot himself in the foot with every film he makes? If he just had the balls to stand up to the studios once in a while, Jersey Girl wouldn't be tied ridiculously to this film, which is now sinking both like a dead weight.

Nick Totoro · Jul 15, 2003

Very close...

The gli combination of letters in Italian is typically pronounced like "lyee," so the proper pronunciation would be something like "jeelyee."

Allow me to use my first post to come out of lurk mode and correct the moviemakers...

be that as it may, i can tell you what the second problem with gigli is: it stars ben affleck and jennifer lopez.

Kenneth English · Jul 16, 2003

I thought it was "jiggly", too, in reference to Jennifer Lopez's, um...assets.

Dennis Nicholls · Jul 16, 2003

Heck I thought you were talking about this opera star:

And about his cornball singing style.....

Enlighten me, 'cause this is the first I'm hearing of this.

How is this film at all related to Jersey Girl? Are they in continuity with each other, or is it just an "Affleck" thing?

Jersey Girl, which has been basically done for months, has been pushed back mainly because of this film. Jersey Girl actually won't be out until Feb of next year. (Personally, that's a crime, since it sounds so much better than this film...)

Exactly, like Jason said. Smith signed a contract with somebody which requires Jersey Girl to be released after Gigli. So even though it's been pretty much in the can since January, it gets pushed back everytime Gigli gets pushed back. I'm glad they're finally unloading it.

This thing has crap written all over it. You know Kevin Smith has to be biting his tongue hoping people can quickly forget about this before "Jersey Girl" gets released.

Joel Mack · Jul 24, 2003

You know "The Sun" is like "The Weekly World News", with tits, right?

TheLongshot · Jul 24, 2003

You know "The Sun" is like "The Weekly World News", with tits, right?

Even so, this movie has had crap written all over it from day one. From script reviews to screenings, I have yet to see one positive review for this film.

Yeah, the trailer for this one was highly UN-entertaining.

Joel Mack · Jul 24, 2003

Oh, I'm not saying it's going to be good. I just like saying "tits".
